Guest Speaker: Ken Ryan - 10:15am
We are delighted to welcome Ken Ryan who graduated from our neighboring Seekonk Little League and went on to play 8 years of MLB baseball, pitching for the Red Sox and Phillies. Ken now oversees all baseball programs at the KR Baseball Academy in Pawtucket, a facility that is a second home for several BLL Little Leaguers who extend their BLL experience by playing year-round for his KR Express AAU teams and taking lessons from his talented staff. Ken is also a familiar face on NESN where he works as an analyst and covers the Portland Sea Dogs and Pawtucket Red Sox.
